Working for the Lords (Klaroline)

Caroline Forbes

GRACE'S POV

My mom was my everything to me, she was the only thing that kept us going in life and I love her so much. I miss her even if it's been a week now. We are offically back in New Orleans, with Aunt Bex, Freya, Keelin, Hayley, and Davina plus or uncle Kol. It is good to be back home, but it just doesn't feel the same anymore without the queen. 

I finally got dressed in a black dress today was my mom's funeral and they were ready to burn her kind of just like Aunt Nessie, but different. She was gonna have a bigger and better cermony. I walked down the hall into Hope's room and saw her looking in the mirror and when she saw me she brusted into tears. I quickly walked towards her and hugged her tightly. "Hope's what's wrong?" I asked rubbing her back as she cried into my shoulder. "You look just like mom." She said I frowned and looked into the mirror as I saw Noah in the back ground leaning against the wall looking at me Before he cleared his throat. "Come on everyone is waiting for us." He said and then reached his arms out as Hope and I took it.

We walked downstairs to see our family waiting for us. "Are you guys okay?" Aunt D asked I nodded "Yeah let's just get this over with." I said. "Where's dad?" Hope asked "We don't know we haven't seen him all day." Uncle Kol said Hope frowned. "Hey it's gonna be okay," Aunt Freya said "You got us and no matter what we're gonna be here always and forever." Hope nodded as she walked out the compound onto the street to walk with everyone else.

As we all walked the streets of New Orleans I still remember doing this before. How my Aunt Nessie died because of this, because of me she never got to live a good life with Elijah she never really got to live at all. I think about her death over and over in my head everyday and every time someone dies even if I don't know them I feel bad. Knowing that I have blood on my hands to and now knowing I'm one reason my mom is gone. My dad is losing his mind and I don't know how to handle this.

As soon as we walked to the bayou to get set up for the burning tonight we say dad there cravings mom's name into a tree just like he did Aunt Nessie's the day she died. "Dad!" Hope called running towards him hugging him tightly. "Klaus where were you?" Aunt Davina asked "Why don't you mind your own business?" Dad said before shoving Hope off of him. "Dad you're drunk." Noah said you could smell the alcohol from a mile away if you wanted too. "What did I just say?!" Dad yelled "Stay back if you know what's good for you." Noah said "Is that supposed to be a threat boy?" He asked "Don't start boys not now?" Aunt Hayley said "You stay out of this!" Dad yelled Noah growled as did dad. "Don't try me boy." He said "STOP IT!!" I screamed as everyone looked at me. "TODAY IS MOM"S FUNERAL!! SHE'S DEAD MY MOM IS DEAD AND SHE'S NOT COMING BACK,BUT SHE WOULD WANT US TO ENJOY THIS MOMENT SOMEHOW SO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND THE SAKE OF MY MOTHER'S HAPPINESS STOP ACTING LIKE FUDGING ANIMALS!!" I screamed to the top of my lungs. Everyone sighed before nodding their heads.

Once it was night time we got ready to burn my mom's body and push it across the lake. "Are you ready?" Aunt Hayley asked. I nodded before walking in front of the crowd of crescent wolves and everyone else who knew my mother. "Good evening," I started off. "I really apperate everyone coming out tonight to help celebrate my mom going to peace. Caroline Forbes, a good friend, a sister, a daughter, a wife, and an amazing mother. She had a very kind heart and cared dearly, but now that she's gone the world will never be the same. Last week was a week I will never forget, but tomorrow and looking forward is the future that my mother would want us to have and enjoy. As much as we will miss her and hear people say things she used to say or see people that looked just like her, she will always be with us in the heart, so now let us put her to rest." I said "To Caroline!" Grandpa Bill called out "TO CAROLINE!!" The crowd shouted as someone sat her body on fire.

As we all watched as her body burn across the lake I didn't feel so good as I watched the fire. Something in my head started buzzing and it hurted. "Grace!" Dad called as I feel to the ground and everything went black.

The next day I woke up in my bed surrounded by my family. "What's happening?" I asked "Grace you're okay?" Hope said hugging me. "Yeah, for now." Noah said crossing his arms. "What are you talking about?" I asked "Gracie... You're sick, love."
